In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
When I saw her she looked my way
And I knew that I was over my head
Ruby lips on a smile so sweet
With a rude attitude that could knock me dead
(suddenly)
I heard a voice when she called my name
(suddenly)
I knew my life was gonna change
Well she's hotter than hell
And she's cool as they come
And she's smart and she's wild
All rolled into one
Ya you say I'm the guy that you wish you could be
It's not easy to see
That she's an angel to you
But she's a devil to me
All my friends say you lucky guy
Everyone wants to stand in your place
And so I give it another try
I'm not sure how much more my poor heart can take
(suddenly)
I feel the blood pumpin' round my brain
(suddenly)
I grab my bat and I'm back in the game
Well she's hotter than hell
And she's cool as they come
And she's smart and she's wild
All rolled into one
Ya you say I'm the guy that you wish you could be
It's not easy to see
That she's an angel to you
But she's a devil to me
I don't know what to do
I don't know what to say
Cause no one knows that she puts me through anyway
I'm awake in disaster
I can't seem to get past her
I try and I try but I can't get away
That she's an angel to you
But she's a devil to me
That she's an angel to you
But she's a devil to me
It's not easy to see
Well she's hotter than hell
And she's cool as they come
And she's smart and she's wild
All rolled into one
Ya you say I'm the guy that you wish you could be
It's not easy to see
Well she's hotter than hell
And she's cool as they come
And she's smart and she's wild
All rolled into one
Ya you say I'm the guy that you wish you could be
It's not easy to see
That she's an angel to you
But she's a devil to me
And I knew that I was over my head
Ruby lips on a smile so sweet
With a rude attitude that could knock me dead
(suddenly)
I heard a voice when she called my name
(suddenly)
I knew my life was gonna change
Well she's hotter than hell
And she's cool as they come
And she's smart and she's wild
All rolled into one
Ya you say I'm the guy that you wish you could be
It's not easy to see
That she's an angel to you
But she's a devil to me
All my friends say you lucky guy
Everyone wants to stand in your place
And so I give it another try
I'm not sure how much more my poor heart can take
(suddenly)
I feel the blood pumpin' round my brain
(suddenly)
I grab my bat and I'm back in the game
Well she's hotter than hell
And she's cool as they come
And she's smart and she's wild
All rolled into one
Ya you say I'm the guy that you wish you could be
It's not easy to see
That she's an angel to you
But she's a devil to me
I don't know what to do
I don't know what to say
Cause no one knows that she puts me through anyway
I'm awake in disaster
I can't seem to get past her
I try and I try but I can't get away
That she's an angel to you
But she's a devil to me
That she's an angel to you
But she's a devil to me
It's not easy to see
Well she's hotter than hell
And she's cool as they come
And she's smart and she's wild
All rolled into one
Ya you say I'm the guy that you wish you could be
It's not easy to see
Well she's hotter than hell
And she's cool as they come
And she's smart and she's wild
All rolled into one
Ya you say I'm the guy that you wish you could be
It's not easy to see
That she's an angel to you
But she's a devil to me

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
